A Standard Flower Show is the official title of a flower show conforming to the standards established by the National Garden Clubs, Inc., and must meet all the requirements of the NGC.

There will be three divisions in the show: Special exhibits, Horticulture and Design. There will be five special exhibits relating to Cohasset, five horticulture classifications all open to amateur gardeners, as well garden club members and six design classifications which are only open to members and affiliates of the National Garden Clubs. The exhibits and designs will be judged and a panel of NGC accredited judges using the Standard System of Awarding will award ribbons.

In preparation for the show, many Community Garden Club members have attended monthly flower design workshops and submitted entries in mini-flower shows. All members, under the direction of Club President, Mary Eisenhaure andFlower Show Chairman, Annette Sechan look forward to this opportunity to share their expertise and artistry with the community.
